ICC control eco 18 – Complete system for reliable and precise temperature control
The ICC control eco 18 from IKA is an integrated solution that combines performance, reliability and ease of use to meet the requirements of modern laboratories. The system consists of a compact immersion circulator, an IB 18 eco plastic bath and a BL.ICC wide bridge. The entire system forms a ready-to-use package that allows heating and cooling operations to be carried out over a wide temperature range, while ensuring high precision and optimum safety.
The ICC control circulator is designed to deliver 2000 W of heating power, enabling rapid temperature rise to 150 °C. It incorporates a high-quality PID control that guarantees stable and reliable regulation with remarkable accuracy of ±0.01 K. Temperature stability is enhanced by the use of PT100 and PT1000 sensors that accurately measure the working and safety temperatures. The modern TFT display makes it easy to read data in real time and allows precise adjustment of parameters.
The IB 18 eco plastic bath is specially designed to accommodate a wide variety of containers. Its optimised design ensures even heat distribution and enables efficient temperature control even for large volumes. With an adjustable immersion depth of 85 to 125 mm, the system can be adapted to different experimental requirements. The wide BL.ICC bridge completes the package by ensuring that the circulator is securely attached to the bath, offering increased ergonomics and safety.
Safety is a central feature of the ICC control eco 18 design. The system is equipped with a safety circuit adjustable between 0 and 160 °C to prevent temperature overshoots. Visual and audible alarms immediately signal anomalies such as insufficient liquid level or excessive temperature. The device also incorporates protection against low and high liquid levels, ensuring safe use and protecting sensitive samples.
This system also stands out for its flexibility and connectivity. It has RS 232 and micro-USB interfaces that facilitate communication with other instruments or management software. The integrated pump, capable of delivering a maximum flow rate of 18 l/min, is adjustable and offers a maximum pressure of 0.3 bar, making it ideal for internal and external applications requiring controlled circulation of the thermal fluid.
The ICC control eco 18 is a wise choice for laboratories looking for a robust, ergonomic and high-performance solution for the thermal control of their samples. Easy to install and use, it is perfectly suited to demanding environments where precision and reliability are essential to guarantee reproducible, high-quality results.
